Salt domes result when: 1. inland seas dry 2.the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise 3. a layer of sedimentary sa
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Salt domes result when <u><em>the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise. (Option 2)</em></u>

Explanation:

In geology it is called the gently wavy and rounded relief dome.

Salt has some special properties like rock:

  • Salt has a lower specific gravity in relation to a common mineral.
  • Salts deform plastically and are very mobile.
  • Salts have a high water solubility.

These properties allow, if the pressure is very high, that the salt layers move upwards (due to their lower density). That is, the internal forces produce the elevation of the strata by means of the pressure they exert towards a higher point, generating that the salt looks for its way towards the surface [that is, the salt ascends through the sedimentary layers of the earth's crust, crossing them and deforming them] and causing the bulging structure. The oldest strata are located in the central area of the dome, while the most modern are distributed in the farthest radius. The structure is called salt or diapiro dome, the phenomenon by which it is formed is called diapirism.

Finally, you can say that <u><em>Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise.</em></u>

In atmospheric chemistry, the following chemical reaction converts SO2, the predominant oxide of sulfur that comes from combusti
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information;

The chemical reaction can be well presented as follows:

\mathtt{SO_{2(g)} + \dfrac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} }  ⇄ \mathtt{3SO_{2(l)}}

Now, K is known to be the equilibrium constant and it can be represented in terms of each constituent activity:

i.e

K = \dfrac{a_{so_3}}{a_{so_2} a_{o_2}^{\frac{1}{2}}}

However, since we are dealing with liquids solutions;

K = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{Pso_2}{P^0}\Big ( \dfrac{Po_2}{P^0} \Big)^{1/2}}   since the activity of a_{so_3} is equivalent to 1

Hence, under standard conditions(i.e at a pressure of 1 bar)

K = \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}

(b)

From the CRC Handbook, we are meant to determine the value of the Gibb free energy by applying the formula:

\Delta _{rxn} G^o = \sum \Delta_f \ G^o (products) - \sum \Delta_fG^o (reactants) \\ \\ = (1) (-368 \ kJ/mol) - (\dfrac{1}{2}) (0) - ((1) (-300.13 \ kJ/mol)) \\ \\ = -368 \ kJ/mol + 300.13 \ kJ/mol \\ \\  \simeq -68 \ kJ/mol

Thus, for this reaction; the Gibbs frree energy = -68 kJ/mol

(c)

Le's recall that:

At equilibrium, the instantaneous free energy is usually zero &

Q(reaction quotient) is equivalent to K(equilibrium constant)

So;

\mathtt{\Delta _{rxn} G = \Delta _{rxn} G^o + RT In Q}

\mathtt{0- \Delta _{rxn} G^o = RTIn K } \\ \\ \mathtt{ \Delta _{rxn} G^o = -RTIn K }  \\ \\  K = e^{\dfrac{\Delta_{rxn} G^o}{RT}} \\ \\  K = e^{^{\dfrac{67900 \ J/mol}{8.314 \ J/mol \times 298 \ K}} }

K =7.98390356\times 10^{11} \\ \\  \mathbf{K = 7.98 \times 10^{11}}

(d)

The direction by which the reaction will proceed can be determined if we can know the value of Q(reaction quotient).

This is because;

If  Q < K, then the reaction will proceed in the right direction towards the products.

However, if Q > K , then the reaction goes to the left direction. i.e to the reactants.

So;

Q= \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}

Since we are dealing with liquids;

Q= \dfrac{1}{1 \times 1^{1/2}}

Q = 1

Since Q < K; Then, the reaction proceeds in the right direction.

Hence, SO2 as well O2 will combine to yield SO3, then condensation will take place to form liquid.

John dissolves .5g of a white powder in 25g of benzene (FP 5oC) (kf benzene is 5.1) and finds the solution freezes at 3.7oC. Det
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The compound has a molar mass of 78.4 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of a sample = 0.5 grams

Mass of benzene = 25 grams

Freezing poing = 5 °C

Kf of benzene = 5.1 °C/m

Freezing point solution = 3.7 °C

Step 2: Calculate molality

ΔT = i*Kf*m

⇒with ΔT = the freezing point depression = 5.0 - 3.7 = 1.3 °C

⇒with i = the can't hoff factor = 1

⇒with Kf = the freezing point depression constant of benzene = 5.1 °C/m

⇒with m = the molality

1.3 = 5.1 * m

m = 1.3 / 5.1

m = 0.255 moles /kg

Step 3: Calculate moles

Molality = moles / mass benzene

0.255 molal = moles / 0.025 kg

Moles = 0.255 molal * 0.025 kg

Moles = 0.006375 moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass of the compound

Molar mass compund = mass / moles

Molar mass compound = 0.5 grams / 0.006375 moles

Molar mass compound = 78.4 g/mol

The compound has a molar mass of 78.4 g/mol
